d THE WAR DEPARTMENT..
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8-The report OF the Sec
rotary of War for the last fiscal year shows
that the expenditures during the year were
al, 1885, 1885, against S81 O55 302 appropriated for
the current fiscal year. The Secretary estimates
that $50 3Se 7lO will be needed during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1884, This includes an
itom of 81, Isl for public works and river
and harbor Improvements. He indorses the
Recommendation of Leutenant-GeneralS heri-
dan that the army be increased 5000 men, and
renews past recommendations for appropria-
tions to strengthen our seacoast and lake front
defenses Secretary Endicott SAWS that in
view of the success attained by our steel
makers it is apparent that the assurance that
the outlay for the necessary plant will prove
remuneratiye is all that is REQUIRED to pro-
duce in this country the largest gun forgings
of suitable quality. It is believed to be of
vital importance that appropriations be an
nually made by Congress until our present need
of modern guns is supplied and the aid that our
steelindustry demands Is assured. AS q step
in this direction an appropriation OF 81, $4,000
